<br>part 2 configuring input. It should be the same for other distributions as well. <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 1:33 AM, Aviram Jenik <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aviram@jenik.com">aviram@jenik.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

tip, and two questions:<br>
<br>
- For the guy that asked about dual screens not showing the best resolution,<br>
open your terminal and type:<br>
<br>
xrandr --auto<br>
<br>
if that doesn't get you the optimal resolution, do:<br>
<br>
xrandr -q<br>
<br>
see what your monitor is called ("VGA", or "TMDS-1" or something similar) and<br>
then do:<br>
<br>
xrandr --output TMDS-1 --auto<br>
<br>
This will set your resolution to the best xrandr thinks it can do, using the<br>
current 'virtual screen' settings. If you want to over rider what xrand<br>
thinks it's best do:<br>
<br>
xrandr --output [bla] --mode 1280x1024 (or similar)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Now my question: X automatically detects when I plug in the 2nd monitor. I'd<br>
like to run xrandr when that happens to set it to the 'correct' resolution.<br>
Does anybody know what scripts runs on this hot-plug detection?<br>
<br>
<br>
Second question: When I connect a USB keyboard it does not have the correct<br>
layout. I need to go to the keyboard layout and hit 'apply' for it to enforce<br>
the layout on the USB keyboard as well. Since xorg.conf is now pase', does<br>
anyone know how to solve this issue?<br>
<br>
